Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) rotors are gaining popularity due to their ease of manufacturing, operation, and economic advantages compared to Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWT), despite being less efficient. This study focuses on selecting suitable materials for the blades of the Savonius Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (SVAWT), considering Aluminium (7020 Alloy), Mild Steel (grade 55), Stainless Steel (A580), and Polycarbonate sheet. The selection is performed using the Weighted Property Method (WPM), an approach aimed at optimizing the performance of wind turbine blades by evaluating various attributes of each material. The findings indicate that Polycarbonate sheet emerges as the most optimized material for blade manufacturing, contributing to improvements in performance metrics. These results highlight the importance of material selection in enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of small-scale SVAWTs.
